Monday January 20

Room 7 was so happy to be able to go outside for recess. In fact, I had a couple of students dancing as they walked out the door with their arms open wide basking in the warm sunny air. It really is amazing how important it is for students to have the opportunity to get sunshine and fresh air after being cooped up inside all last week.

In Science we are exploring two different topics simultaneously, hearing and sound and animal life cycles. Each week we will be exploring one of the topics and eventually they will blend together. Although this week may be a bit different as we will be reviewing key vocabulary for hearing and sound and completing our animal lifecycle pages to get ready for our field study next week.

In Math we have been exploring addition and subtraction questions. Each student has identified which strategy they like most for each operation. Some students use the same strategy for each operation and some use different ones. Ask your child which strategy works best for them.

I have also noticed that I am not very good at doing blog, therefore I am going to put it back onto the students. Each day I will be going to choose two students who will create a post together.

Reminders
- field study forms need to be brought back to school
- I still need 2 more volunteers for the zoo field study on the 30th of January

Tuesday October 13

Today at school we had a Math problem. We are suppose to figure out how many pencils might be in two boxes if there is about 500 pencils (TD). We tried multiple strategies to figure out the answer (KC). For example some used a picture, division, and adding. This problem was an easier problem to learn the process of problem solving. In Science we were planning and talking about our field study tomorrow. We get to learn more about the new central library and other interesting buildings around the area. Our purpose for tomorrow field study is to explore different buildings and be able to compare them (GA). At the end of the day today we did exploration time. We had building centers. We were building structures (DD). This is to get us ready for our big project which we will be introduced to next week. Reminders - Tomorrow is our field study - dress for the weather. Only bring items that are needed in our backpack. Leave everything else at home.

Welcome to Online Learning

Dear Parent(s) / Guardian(s):       Thank you for your patience as we work through some necessary planning in preparation for resuming structured learning opportunities for your child. I understand there has been a lot of uncertainty about what learning is going to look like moving forward. I can assure you that we are going to work on key learning outcomes at-home within the parameters established by the province and CBE.       To help me understand your family’s access to technology, can you please provide responses to the following three questions:   §    Does your child have access to a computer, laptop, iPad/tablet, smart phone? If so which types of technology might be accessible?    §    Does your child have access to the Internet?   §    Is your only option a paper-based education for your child?       While the lessons I will be providing are aimed...

March 31st Learning Plan

Welcome to our first week of on-line learning. Thank you to all our families for being patient as we learn how to use new platforms and how to best communicate with our families. We know there will be hic-ups along the way. We would like to begin by explaining our thought process in how we will move forward. This may change as we learn how to infuse technology and understand our student's needs in this new learning environment. Each Friday we will post a blog, similar to this one, where we share our learning intentions. Most tasks will be connected to the larger learning intention with smaller learning intentions embedded in the task. We will provide a possible schedule of when each task could take place to help in organizing yourself and your family. As mandated by Alberta Learning, we will focus primarily on literacy and numeracy, however being a Science alternative program we value the importance of integrating a Scientific perspective on the tasks we assign.  We strongly...
